Some testing by the exo.performance.network research staff shows that SP1 provides no measurable relief to users saddled with sub-par performance under Vista.

Really? I also run an IDE, a Postgres server, Firefox, Evolution, GIMP, and some other small utilities are running all the time. From time to time I also open OpenOffice.org Writer, Calc or some other app (XMMS, etc). Except I do this on a laptop computer that is 4 years old, with a Pentum4-M CPU and only 512MB RAM. No problems.
Who knows what I could do if I had your computer.
Perhaps, you'd be using Windows Vista.
Anyway, what made you upgrade to Pentuim4 and 512MB? Why aren't you using Pentim 2 and 128MB?
That guy said that 2GB is enough to just run Vista and I responded to that. I really don't care what you can do with Pentium 4 and 512MB. CPUs and RAM are priced so low these days that I had no problems in purchasing this configuration. As soon as prices go down even more, I'll be getting Quad core CPU and possibly even more memory. You don't have to.
